"It's the only team I really haven't done anything (against), and it frustrates me when I go out there because I know what I am capable of doing," Gable said after the Ticats practised at McMaster University.

"I think sometimes I try to push it too much instead of taking my time and letting it happen. This time, I'm going to be poised and let everything happen and fall into place.
